French style embroidery : monograms and blazons

This man was driving down a country road when he saw a farmer with a pig in an orchard. The farmer was holding the pig up to an apple tree and the pig was happily eating apples. The man watched for a while as the farmer walked to the next tree, and then the next. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He got out of his car, and walked over to the fence and hailed the farmer. "What are you doing, if I might ask?" "Feeding my pig apples," replied the farmer. "Wouldn't it save alot of time if you put the pig on the ground and just shook the trees so the apples fall off?" The farmer thought about that for a while. "Yeah, I reckon it would. But..... What's time to a pig?" This has become one of those family traditions. When someone suggests trying something that might take some time, or a faster way to do something, the standard reply is, "Yes, but what's time to a pig?" Love it! Doreen in Alabama |

It's such effective short-hand for so many situations. The kids are a lot older now, and living on their own - with partners, some of them, so we no longer hear "But Daaaaad, that'll take forever!!!" which always got the response, "Yes, but what's time to a pig?" Still...suitable occasions occur. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |
